The girl and the endless time

chapter 16

A voice started talking in the mysterious guy’s head. “There's an intruder in the garden master,'' said the voice. “I know that,'' said the mysterious guy. “Yes master but It's a wolf he appeared out of nowhere undetected, I saw something flashing,'' said the voice. “That's a problem and what’s happening now,'' said the mysterious guy. “Alice has just appeared, she is talking with the wolf right now,” said the voice. “Keep watch over the garden, I will be there soon to watch the show,'' said the mysterious guy. “Yes master, I will watch over them and the garden and see you there,'' said the voice. “The fun starts now!” said the mysterious guy as he laughed. “What's wrong, master, did something good happen,'' said Suki. “Yes, I just chatted with Alice not too long ago,” said the mysterious guy. “Well done, spying on her and the mayor,” said the mysterious guy. “Yes master if anything were to happen, I have to inform you, I found out about the mayor clones and the people he lost, he also wants the power that girl has,” said Suki. “Interesting and did you deliver that message to the ninja and twin seal breaker?'' said the mysterious guy. “Yes, I did, master,” said Suki. “Okay, well keep spying on them, wait until your new mission you and your brother will take,'' said the mysterious guy. Suki then nodded and then disappeared into the darkness. “Master, it's an emergency, Alice woke up,” said Kuragari. “I expected this and I just talked with her,'' said the mysterious guy. “I'm sorry master for being late and Kaiyo and his guards are trying to put her back to sleep temporarily but it seems she is in the garden now meaning she won,'' said Kuragari. “Hmm let them fight her, it will help us know her power, '' said the mysterious guy as he put his hands together. “Very well, I will get her back one way or another,” said the mysterious guy as he smirked evilly while thinking. He looked at the crystal diamond looking back on what happened. “Ha it seems she wants to leave but I plan to keep her here,'' said the mysterious guy as he stopped looking at the crystal diamond. He then looked at Kuragari. “You may sit down and wait until Kaiyo comes here,” said the mysterious guy. “Thank you, master,” said Kuragari as he sat down at the table and rested for a bit. Moments later Kaiyo had come rushing in the door. “We are sorry we let her escape,” said Kaiyo as he looked at the ground with disappointment. “It's fine but did you record how she used her power? That's what matters most?'' said the mysterious guy. “Yes I used my magic to switch it on while she was casting her spell and she cursed me, I won't live long and she killed most of my men," said Kaiyo. I have a way to reverse it as he teleported a book in his hand which looked just like the one Kurogane had. “I will get her for that,” said Kaiyo. “It's fine that she escaped, I know where she is, I will deal with her soon enough,'' said the mysterious guy. “But why didn't you bring her back, if you saw her in the garden and we still need to experiment on her and you know how to cure it,'' said Kaiyo. “Don't get concerned, over that I have my ways and you don't need to worry about it until that day,” said the mysterious guy. He then cast the spell and the book glowed and surrounded Kaiyo and revered the curse Alice gave him. “Thank you, master,” said Kaiyo as he kneed one knee down to the ground. “I need her to find all the keys to unlock that power, for it to become mine along with her, go to the lab and check all of the spells she used,” said The mysterious guy. “Master, before that can I be the one to find her if she does manage to escape the gardens,” said Kaiyo. “You may proceed to do that,'' said the mysterious. “I want to be the one to go to get back, master,'' said Kaiyo. “Alright, I get it,” said the mysterious guy. “Thank you, master,'' said Kaiyo as he left. “Well, I wonder if he can get her, if she can even escape this garden, well it doesn't matter but soon they will find out who I am,” said the mysterious guy as his eyes glowed with l**t as he laughed. This book will reunite with the other one as he drinks his glass filled with blood. “Kuragari go and watch Kaiyo,'' said the mysterious guy. “Yes, master,” said Kuragari as he disappeared. He then continued to drink. “I wonder if they can escape the garden as he looks at the garden watching Alice and Silver. “This is fun playing with them, It's very interesting,” said the mysterious guy as he touched the window while staring at her. “It seems Kurogane’s familiar, is with Alice, so he knew about her waking up,'' said the mysterious guy as he punched the wall. He then broke it and then the wall started to repair itself. “This book can't even tell me that she woke up, how worthless, but I don't care anyway but what I want is Alice herself, her other half, I don't really care too much about,” said the mysterious guy as he kept laughing hysterically. “Well I'm bored, I should have fun with them,” said the mysterious guy as he teleported out towards the garden to watch them using his shadow phoenix to watch them. “Thanks for watching them,” said the mysterious guy. “No problem master,'' said the voice as it came from the shadow phoenix as he was flying around. He then slips warm blood in a small teacup watching them through the phoenix shadow eyes. “She is good at dodging but not so much in combat she relies too much on her magic than her strength,'' said the mysterious guy as he sighs and continues to sip his drink. “I'm planning on joining in on the fun, for now, I want them to use all their mana,” said the mysterious guy as he started laughing again. “This is getting ridiculous, that day can’t come faster,” said the mysterious guy as he looked at the sun. “Hmph my magic barrier opened because of that clock, how fantastic,” said the mysterious guy as his mood changed back and forth. “I should ask Xi what is happening now,'' said the mysterious guy as he called him. “Is there any news on what has been happening?” said the mysterious guy. “Not that much has happened since the last time you talked to me,” said Xi. “I have something in mind, Suki is watching the mayor's new pawns, and is walking around finding Saito,'' said the mysterious guy. “I'm listening, go on,'' said Xi. “Suki is watching them and once the mayor's pawn reaches them, that is when you make Xue attack Saito,'' said the mysterious guy. “Do you think this will work? We are not sure if she will be the one fighting,” said Xi. “You have a point but if Xue fails we can obtain his heart which contains a real supernatural hunter,'' said the mysterious guy. “Then I will inform him about it once you give me the call to start,'' said Xi. They then ended their talk. “Kai, look we are here now even, if it wasn't a far walk,” said Sage. They both felt so tired they decided to look around to find a close-by tree to lean on, it was across from the magic shop. “Those two a handful, it's just the afternoon, oh well I will go buy the things we need. I need a healing potion and teleporting crystal,” said Kai as he walks toward the magic shop. “Hello, sir and welcome to my shop, tell me if you need any help,” said the wizard. “Thanks a lot,'' said Kai as he looked around the whole shop, trying to find the thing he needed. Kai then grabbed most of what he wanted to get. “Mister, what do those star-shaped crystals do?” said Kai. “Oh, they help you track scents and lure the one you're finding within no matter the distance even if they cover it, and If you have a piece of hair or some kind of clothing that would work,” said the wizard. “Thank you for telling me, I will get 10 of these,'' said Kai. He then bought the things they needed. “Thank you, sir, come again,” said the wizard as he waved goodbye to Kai. He then nodded to the wizard as he left the magic shop. “Oh yeah I almost forgot to get food, he then ran into the market, bought the food, and left. “Sage, Ryu wake up,'' said Kai as he stood in front of them waiting for them to wake up from their nap. “Oh Kai your back,” said Sage and Ryu. “Yes, it's almost getting late now, I have to look for something good for us to eat, let's camp out around here,'' said Kai. “Did you get everything you needed Kai?” said Sage and Ryu as they both yawn. “Yeah I got everything we needed and you two are hungry right here's the food I brought near the magic store,” said Kai. “Thanks, Kai,” said Sage and Ryu as they ate and drank. “I feel better now, it has been a long day,” said Kai. “We can tell you're exhausted from today but Kai what did you get at the store?” said Sage. "Hey, can you show us what you got?” said Ryu. “I got something useful, look at this, it's a star-shaped crystal, it can track her,'' said Kai. “That is cool and useful,'' said Ryu. “Do you even have anything to work with?” said Sage. “Yeah, I do look at what I got a piece of her hair from her beret but I won't use it until tomorrow,” said Kai. “I wanted to ask something,” said Ryu. “Go ahead, I'm listening,” said Kai. “I'm curious, do you think the mayor even cares about us? What is his purpose for doing this?'' said Ryu. “That question, I'm not sure myself, on what he thinks of us, why do you ask? Said Kai as he tilted his head. “I ask because, I heard that voice whispering and saying don't trust the mayor, he's using you guys as pawns,” said Ryu. “I see but all we can do now is finish this mission, you two,” said Kai. “We understand,'' said Sage and Ryu. “Well it's getting late, we should rest up for the next day,'' said Kai. Sage and Ryu then cast a barrier over them to sleep. “What good listeners,” said Suki as she disappeared into the shadows. Time passed during the night. The sun came up, the light then shine on all their eyes. “It's morning now,” said Sage and Ryu. “I'm still tired, let me sleep a little more, and plus you had even more sleep then I did,'' said Kai as he placed the blanket over his head. “Come on, now mr. grumpy pants, we need to go find her,'' said Ryu. “You are the leader right, you can start leading and stop slacking on the job,'' said Sage. “Alright, I'm getting up now thanks a lot for the insults early in the morning, like you think it's going to make it any better as he gets ready. “We only said that because you wouldn't wake up,'' said Sage and Ryu. “Okay you got me there but we still have plenty of time to get there,'' said Kai as he looked at his phone for the time. They then packed their things and headed off. Kai took out the star crystal and put Saito's hair in the star. It started to light up and floated in the air and it guided them. “It seems the color changes when we are almost close, blue means cold, red means almost there, and black means we are here,” said Kai as he explains to them what the star crystals do.“That makes it even better, I wanted to beat that guy up for blasting me to the tree,” said Ryu as he gave an evil laugh while he was drooling. “I can't wait to pound his face in,” said Ryu. “Let's just ignore him,'' said Kai. “Yeah we're gonna pretend we didn't hear that,” said Sage. “Hey, why are you guys leaving me?” said Ryu. “Hurry and catch up Ryu alright,” said Kai. “I'm coming,” said Ryu as he then ran toward them. “What's the big idea of leaving me behind?'' said Ryu as his face turned red. “Well sorry little Ryu but you were spacing out too much,'' said Sage. “Plus you were drooling, which was gross,” said Kai as he glanced at Ryu. “Hey, I wanted to plan something once I see him,'' said Ryu as he crossed his arms and looked away. “Hello master, I'm following them, it seems like they're tracking them as we speak,'' said Suki as she hid in each tree's shadow. “Good, I want to see how it goes and keep covering yourself,'' said the mysterious guy. “I will master,” said Suki as they kept using telepathy to talk. “Keep a close eye on them,” said the mysterious guy. “Yes, master,” said Suki as she followed them. “I'm leaving this to you, I have something to do,” said the mysterious guy. Suki then watches them in silence. “Don't you have a feeling that someone is watching us?'' said Sage as his face darkened. “Yeah I feel it,” said Kai and Ryu as they rub their shoulders from the chills.
